My eyes became dim with my weeping:

On behalf of the Trustees of the Evergreen Care Trust, I would like to thank you for organising the concert in aid of the Trust. We are also very grateful to you and your choir and the other musicians involved for raising the wonderful sum of £600 for the Trust. I know everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the evening and are still talking about it.
I recognise that such a splendid concert does not just happen, many hours of planning, rehearing and preparation are involved and we would be grateful if you would kindly pass on our thanks to all who have given up their time so willingly to ensure it was such a good evening.
